Yesterday, on Veterans' Day, a small group of wacked out lunatic lefties staged a rally on Independence Mall in Philadelphia to demoralize our troops and push their defeatist agenda. Oh, and, of course, to launch a grassroots campaign to impeach President Bush. Naturally, the godmother of wacked out lunatic lefties was there urging this pathetic nonsense on.
The Democrats victory on Election Day is reinvigorating the anti-war movement. Protesters on Independence Mall used Veterans Day to call for President Bush's impeachment.
Veterans, activists, including military mom Cindy Sheehan and Democrat bloggers announced a movement they call "Impeach for change."
Bob Fertig of Democrats.com says even though there are only two years left in President Bush's term, he should be held accountable for what he believes are crimes:
"He deliberately misled the American people. We believe that an investigation would reveal that he knew he was misleading us and therefore he was lying to us."
Across the street, a small group of counter protesters like Kristinn Taylor:
"We're out here standing up for America while they're across the street standing up for the enemy."
This rally drew so much support that there's virtually no news posted about it on line (though I'm sure those "Democrat bloggers" are blogging up a storm). But these folks have kindly published some of their proceedings for the whole world to see. So if you're interested and have the stomach, you can read a transcript of former Congresswoman Elizabeth Holtzman's conference speech here.
Bonus question: why does KYW's news story on this travesty look more like an IFC advertisement than a piece of journalism?
